Great interview. Thanks for the link.

Acclaimed Portuguese director Joao Botelho has made a docu (80 mins) about MO. It ends with "The Gloved Woman" ("Rapariga de Luvas"), Botelho´s version of a screenplay by MO, starring Leonor Silveira, done as a pastiche of a silent B & W melodrama. The title of the MO script is given as "Prostitucao ou A Mulher que Passa". Googling it I found brief info about scripts called "Prostitucao" (1938) and "A Mulher que Passa" (1940). Either Botelho has amalgamated the two scripts or remembers it as one script (or the info I found is wrong). Botelho apparently learned about these scripts while working as MO´s assistant in the 80s.

Don´t think I´ve posted these two earlier.

Sadly after Oliveira's death, I did not see any company came up with his movies on blu ray except for a few titles released in Japan. I don't understand why Criterion is totally ignoring his masterworks, such as I'm Going Home, or Abraham's Valley among others.

Vale Abraão should be a no brainer for somebody somewhere. Of course it's my favorite film so I'm a little biased. I thought Arrow was considering releasing some of these titles at some point (the 2020's?). For whatever reason, Oliveira is not a fashionable enough director it seems to get high priority treatment in this area from anyone. Still, as much as I'd love a Vale Blu, if Criterion ever released any I would start with Francisca or 'Non', ou A Vã Glória de Mandar(I'm Going Home, though possibly his most accessible film, is not representative enough).
